Cats And Dogs May See In Ultraviolet

Va. Assembly gives chicken-chasing dogs a slight reprieve

The team found that many of the animals, including hedgehogs, dogs, cats, ferrets and okapis (relatives of giraffes that live in the central African rainforest), have lenses that allow some ultraviolet light through, suggesting these animals may see in the ultraviolet. This begs the question, what purpose does ultraviolet vision serve? "The question is only being asked because humans can't see it," Douglas told Live Science, adding that nobody asks why humans see other colors. Nevertheless, ultraviolet vision does serve several purposes. Bees and other insects use it to see colors or patterns on plants that can direct them to nectar.

Mellenie Runion said that many of her Alexandria neighbors are raising chickens with no problems, even though its technically illegal.

Sochi Officials Order Stray Dogs Killed Ahead Of Olympics

Sorokin described his company as being involved in the "catching and disposing" of dogs, although he refused to specify how the dogs would be killed or say where they would take the carcasses. The dogs have been causing numerous problems, Sorokin said Monday, including "biting children." He said he was stunned last week when he attended a rehearsal for the opening ceremony and saw a stray dog walking in on the performers. "A dog ran into the Fisht Stadium, we took it away," he said. "God forbid something like this happens at the actual opening ceremony. This will be a disgrace for the whole country." The strays tend to gather near construction sites where they have gotten food and shelter from workers. Dogs have even been able to get inside the Olympic Park and accredited hotel complexes and villages, in the coastal cluster of arenas and venues up in the mountains.

Their reactions were observed under three conditions - when their owners were absent, when they were silent and when they were encouraging. The dogs were offered a treat after following directions with specific toys. They were much more interested in the treat when their owners were present as opposed to when they were with a stranger. When the owners were silent or positively motivated their dogs, there was little but still notable influence on the dogs' levels of incentive.

Some of the reader mail that came in today is understandable, particularly for an older filmgoer who has seen a marked increase in on-screen violence over their lifetime. But to me theres always been something a little misplaced about the belief that movies give people bad ideas, and its logical extension that directors should thus refrain from showing particular kinds of scenes in their movies.

We wanted the world to discover us as we were: a community of musicians defined by our music, our friendships, our culture and our art. This is not the way we ever imagined the world would learn of our story. As we face the greatest sorrow we've ever experienced, we're left with something that no one could ever take away from us - beautiful memories of our fallen brothers, friends who we love and so desperately miss. We will not forget the dreams we shared and this life that we built together - it's stronger, more permanent, more real and more full of life than any senseless, evil act could ever begin to take away from us. We will not let this disgusting brutality define us or become our story, but instead respond by creating music more passionately and with more intensity than ever before, embracing the freedom that we all dreamed would one day be ours back in Iran and play to honor those who should be playing next to us.

Halloween Safety For Pets Doesn't Need To Be Tricky

Dean Newton, medical director at Animerge Veterinary Hospital in Raritan, list the following: Candy and treats: Never give candy to pets, and store treats where pets cant get to them, especially chocolate. Chocolate contains theobromine, which can kill dogs. Costumes: Be sure that any outfit your pet wears is not constrictive or something it can become tangled in, and never leave a pet unattended. Also, some pets react unpredictably when placed in a new situation such as wearing a costume or going door to door, so consider your pets personality before dressing up. Decorations: Pets can get tangled in seasonal decorations or become curious and try to eat them. Jack-o-lanterns with candles should never be within reach of pets, and even pumpkins might be tempting.
